I'm baaack! Yup after 14 years of the boat sitting and not repairing the transom I decided to sell her. But since I started visiting her to clean her up I'm having second thoughts. I'm still over an hour away from the boat. If I do not sell her and decide to fix the transom I'm going to bring her closer to me.

The transom definitely needs to be replaced and there is at least one soft spot on the deck. Next will be to check the condition of the stringers. So torn as to what to do with her, so many good memories and hoping for many more, if I decide to repair and not sell.

Wow, blast from the past, glad ur back BF.

So the boat hasn t. been used in 14 years? Your a very patient person or a very careful planner. The good news is you now have YouTube to guide you through the whole process, bad news is the price of everything has tripled.

Skunkboat has a very good video explaining the pour cast method,but i would think you would need to address the stringers also. Depending on where the soft spots are in the deck, that all might have to come up also.

Whatever you decide, keep us in the loop and take plenty of pics

How much would it cost to get a repair shop to rebuild the transom?
